The ones I've shot have been nice, especially for the price. G. Gordon Liddy used to be a big fan of the entire Taurus line when he had a radio program. (maybe still does, but I don't get it where I live now)

they're good if you're not going to need to shoot more than 7 ft accurately

Did you know that, on average in a firefight, a policeman (or is it the criminal?) will miss with all 6 rounds from just 10 ft away from his target? I know that sounds jumbled, but I can't remember the exact stat. The point is that this is quite misunderstood with Hollywood and all that. A slight movement on your part moves the muzzle of a handgun tremendously. Thus, you need a very quiet trigger finger to have any consistency in accuracy.
